In the world of Type-Moon, start by becoming Morgan's husband!

"Fool, how could she not want to see you!" Boudica said anxiously, "Have you forgotten why she became like that? It's because she couldn't see you!"

"..."

Ian's eyes widened slightly.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to be thinking too rationally.

That’s right…How could Nero just watch me leave like that?

If that were the case, it wouldn't be her.

"Boudica, you're right—Nero can't possibly not want to see me."

"I'm going to find her!"

"Yes, that's right!" Boudica looked at the man who understood and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll go with you to look for her. Look carefully, through every street and alley in Rome. You'll definitely find her!"

"Well, please."

Ever since——

An operation to find Nero began under the organization of Boudica and Ian.

Those warriors from Britannia always obeyed the orders of their queen. Even when they heard that they were going to look for the Roman emperor, they responded without hesitation.

For a time, the streets of Rome were filled with voices calling for Nero.

Everyone here is waiting for the appearance of the young emperor.

however--

Although everyone involved in this action worked so hard, the result was not as good as expected.

Nero did not appear at this point.

The sun quietly climbed to the center of the sky, and the warm golden light illuminated the land of Rome, and even the buildings that were originally blackened by the flames seemed to be covered with a layer of light gauze.

Five hours and forty-three minutes. This is the only time left until BB's scheduled transmission.

In the chariot, Boudica, who had accompanied Ian in searching Rome for a whole morning, was already sweating profusely.

It was obvious that she sincerely wanted to find Nero for Ian, and it wasn't just lip service.

only--

Some things cannot be done just because you want to do them.

At least not the one about finding Nero.

"That's all I know."

Ian parked the chariot blessed by the goddess in a shady place. He reached out his hand and wiped the sweat from Boudica's forehead with concern.

"You're so tired."

"It's okay!" Boudica looked at Ian, her eyes still anxious, "I'm not tired at all - Seneca, let's look for it again!"

"Looking? Where to look?"

Ian's hand gently stroked Boudica's hair, which symbolized passion, and his voice gently comforted her.

"We have searched all over Rome, and we still can't see Nero."

"In that case——"

"Do you think you can really see her if you keep looking like this?"

"..."

Boudica turned away.

As the queen of Britannia, she understood everything Ian said.

After all, she also knew that given Nero's personality, it would be absolutely impossible for him to hide in the face of so many people calling him.

This emperor was a natural artist who admired gorgeous performances and grand appearances.

How could she not show up at this much-anticipated moment?

"But... you can't just not look for it like this, right?"

Boudica took the man's hand.

“That’s the person you care about.”

"But you are also someone I care about." Ian picked up Boudica and gently hugged her waist. "I can't bear to hurt another person I care about because of someone I care about."

Hearing this, Boudica felt even more complicated.

She really wanted to be in his arms, but she didn't want it at this time.

"Seneca, this can't be... Let's look for it again? Maybe there's something we missed."

"If Nero misses the last meeting because of this, wouldn't that be too pitiful?"

In response to Boudica's words, Ian suddenly asked a question.

"Boudica—"

"Are you feeling guilty? Do you think you shouldn't be hugged by me when Nero is not around?"

"Eh?"

Knowing that she could not hide her thoughts from Ian, Boudica directly admitted it all.

"um, yes."

"Seneca, I... do think so."

"If that's the case—" Ian looked down at her in his arms, and then smiled warmly.

"I think you don't have to worry."

"Don't worry anymore?"

"Yeah." Ian nodded, "Trust me, we will definitely meet."

"..."

Boudica looked at the man for a long time, and only felt relieved after she was sure that he was not deliberately comforting her.

"I see—so when will she show up?"

"Hard to say."

Ian looked at the sun in the sky, his eyes already showing some wisdom as if he had guessed the truth of the matter.

"But it will definitely appear before I leave."

"..."

Having said this, Boudica no longer bothered about it.

"Then, can I lie in your arms and rest for a while? I... am indeed a little tired."

"Well, of course."

Perhaps she was too tired, or perhaps she was temporarily reassured by the man's promise, Boudica actually fell asleep in front of Ian on the chariot.

Curled up into a ball, she lay between the man's legs, her cheek gently pressing against the thing she was supposed to serve.

This made her look even cuter than usual - although her extremely mature body would cleverly erase this feeling.

After confirming that Boudica was asleep, Ian touched her head and contacted Chaldea again.

"Pig, what's wrong?!" BB's voice came from the communication device, "Do you want to come back early to see BB?"

"……That's not it."

"That's not the case. BB won't listen."

"Hey, don't be like that!"

"Just kidding." BB on the screen crossed his arms, "Just tell me what you want to say."

"Hmm... I want to know if it's possible to bring back things from the singularity?"

"Do you mean a living person? That's definitely not possible - you have to know that the spirit particle transfer system is based on the detection of your suitability."

“They may not necessarily have this kind of adaptability.”

"If the suitability is not good and it has to be transmitted back, it may produce a very horrifying scene."

Although BB seemed a little angry, he explained in great detail. After Ian finished listening, he quickly asked another question.

"What about the items?"

"As for objects, it's actually similar - but compared to people, it should be slightly better, after all, integrity doesn't necessarily need to be considered."

"That's it, I understand."

Time passed quickly, and there was less than an hour left before being teleported back to Chaldea.

night.

The awakened Boudica and Ian were waiting near the Roman city gate, and behind them were Tamamonomae and Mashu who were ready.

"Will he come?" the Queen of Britannia couldn't help but ask.

"It will come." Ian responded very seriously.

"Nero... just went to prepare her favorite thing for me."

"Eh?"

Before Boudica could be surprised for long, a figure appeared not far away.

That was Nero running towards her from the road outside under the moonlight, holding a large bouquet of roses in her hand.

"teacher--!"

The young emperor shouted loudly, and then came to Ian without stopping.

"Here you go!"

"I went to the mountain early in the morning to pick them. I guarantee they are the best!"

"..."

Looking at the rose that had been crushed to pieces, Ian felt his heart touched.

"Yeah, it's really fresh."

"Hmm~" Nero supported his hips with his hands, "Of course, the things given to the teacher must be the best."

Not long after she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something.

"Oh yeah! There's also this!"

Nero pulled a necklace out of the rose, and without a word she stood on tiptoe and put it around Ian's neck.

"Hmm~ This was made by me."

"Teacher, you are not allowed to take it off. I will let everyone know that you are my slave!"

Although he knew that there was a high chance that the necklace would not survive, Ian still held it in his hands like a rare treasure.

"Nero, do you think you can defeat me?"

"Hmm~" Nero supported his waist with his hands, "I am the Roman Emperor, how could I let go of something I like?!"

"Teacher, just wait!"

"Yu will come to you soon!"

"so--"

"I order you not to be sad because you can't see me."

"..."

Ian never expected that Nero would comfort him instead.

But this made the man very happy. He reached out his hand and gently stroked the girl's head.

"Nero, you have really matured."
